India is promising destination for laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy

2009-10-29 12:12:56 - India offers laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy at an affordable cost along with amazing tourism destination.

An increasing number of private fertility clinics have opened in developing countries such as India over the last decade and are attracting consumers through lower pricing. There are two subcategories of medical tourism clinics: accredited centers that are part of the broader healthcare industry and non-accredited clinics focused on medical tourism. High quality, low-cost medical care in India is often

available at rates between 40 percent and 80 percent below the cost of the same procedures in the USA. Delhi, Kerala, Jaipur and Goa have some of the best surgeons for the laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy in India.

Ectopic means ‘out of place’. An ectopic pregnancy is when a pregnancy starts outside your uterus instead of inside. The embryo often develops in either of your Fallopian tubes. This is called a tubal pregnancy. If not tubal, the pregnancy could be in your ovary or some other part of your pelvis. An ectopic pregnancy is dangerous because of the risk of very serious internal bleeding. It needs to be dealt with quickly. According to surgeons in India, an ectopic pregnancy occurs when the baby starts to develop outside the womb (uterus). The most common site for an ectopic pregnancy is within one of the tubes through which the egg passes from the ovary to the uterus (fallopian tube). However, in rare cases, ectopic pregnancies can occur in the ovary, stomach area, or cervix. Laparoscopic surgery of ectopic pregnancy is done to stop blood loss in India.
An ectopic pregnancy is usually caused by a condition that blocks or slows the movement of a fertilized egg through the fallopian tube to the uterus. This may be caused by a physical blockage in the tube. Most cases are a result of scaring caused by:
1.Past ectopic pregnancy,
2.Past infection in the fallopian tubes,
3.Surgery of the fallopian tubes.
Up to 50% of women who have ectopic pregnancies have had swelling (inflammation) of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis) or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Some ectopic pregnancies can be due to:
1.Birth defects of the fallopian tubes,
2.Complications of a ruptured appendix,
3.Endometriosis,
4.Scarring caused by previous pelvic surgery.

Symptoms of laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy in India:
1.Abnormal vaginal bleeding
2.Amenorrhea
3.Breast tenderness
4.Low back pain
5.Mild cramping on one side of the pelvis
6.Nausea
7.Pain in the lower abdominal or pelvic area
If the area of the abnormal pregnancy ruptures and bleeds, symptoms may get worse. They may include:
1.Feeling faint or actually fainting
2.Pain that is felt in the shoulder area
3.Severe, sharp, and sudden pain in the lower abdomen.
Internal bleeding due to a rupture may lead to shock. Shock is the first symptom of almost 20% of ectopic pregnancies.

What has gone wrong?
With a tubal pregnancy your fertilized egg does not pass from your Fallopian tube into your uterus. The much smaller sperm have traveled up the tube to fertilize your egg but your egg has not moved in the opposite direction. This may be because of scarring, called adhesions, in and around your Fallopian tube. This scarring could be from a previous infection in your tube or your pelvis, or from a previous operation. As the embryo develops, blood vessels from the growing placenta will burst through the thin walls of your Fallopian tube or through the tissues near the ovary. This can result in internal bleeding and pain.

The Benefits of laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy in India:
This operation is often lifesaving. An ectopic pregnancy will usually bleed until it is removed. Keyhole surgery has several advantage over an open operation:
1.The laparoscopy can confirm the diagnosis and the exact position of the ectopic pregnancy.
2.There is less bleeding from the operation with less chance of needing a blood transfusion.
3.Less pain.
4.Recovery is usually quicker with a shorter hospital stay.
5.The chance of having a normal pregnancy later is higher, about seven in 10 (70%) rather than five in 10 (50%) after open surgery.
6.The chance of another ectopic pregnancy is lower, about three in 20 (15%) rather than five in 20 (25%) after open surgery.

Are there any alternatives of laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy in India?

We can sometimes treat an ectopic pregnancy by giving a drug called methotrexate. We usually give this drug as an anti-cancer treatment. When we give it to treat an ectopic pregnancy it stops the embryo from growing any bigger. The embryo dies and the body slowly absorbs the remains. This can avoid the need for surgery. If you need surgery you could have an open operation, called a laparotomy. Due to the benefits of laparoscopy over open operations, it is usually better to avoid this. If for some reason a laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy operation is not possible, Surgeon in India will recommend an open operation. One reason for this would be if you were very ill due to internal bleeding from the ectopic pregnancy.

Prevention of laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy in India:
Most forms of ectopic pregnancy that occur outside the fallopian tubes are probably not preventable. However, a tubal pregnancy (the most common type of ectopic pregnancy) may be prevented in some cases by avoiding conditions that might scar the fallopian tubes. The following may reduce the risk:
1.Avoiding risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) such as having many sexual partners, having sex without a condom, and getting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
2.Early diagnosis and treatment of STDs.
3.Early diagnosis and treatment of salpingitis and PID
